tho ohild to its mothor af tor nino long
yoars of waiting and watohing aud of
tho many robuff? of fato. Tho follow
ing particulars of tho oaso wo tako
from Tho Stato of last Thursday:
Loula Wilson, daughter of Mrs. L.
M. Wilson of Tampa, Fla , and grand
daughter of tho Uto Capt. John Mo
Noil of Dado Oily, Fia., was stolon
from her homo in Dado Oity neatly
niuo yoarn ago, and w-.s looatcd iu Co
Wednosday. Mis. Wilson arrived in
tho oity and identified hor long-lost
ohild snd-tuo t',vohavorolurnod to thoir
homo in Florida.
Tho facts oonnootod with this ro
markablo caso aro stronger than fiotion.
Mrs. Wilson was a widow living on an
orango grovo near Dado Ji<y. oho was
a worn.JU of tnodoriUo maana, so abo re
?atoo tho nc orv, and a fctrmng>>r, a man
by tho namo of Miller, a northcrnor,
o .-:uo thcro to board. Ho was an au

Jiving in Dido Oity, onritiod "For

Fia. This -was olovon momba after
ward. MM. Wilson wonk for hor ohild,
but on arriving at tho convent nbc han
much trouble in reoovoring tho littlo
ono a3 it had boon plaoed in tho oon
vont under an assumod name, tho
sttangcr who had loft it ibero olnim
ing that tho ohild's parents wiro dead
and that tho doooaiod fathor, a iriond
of his, had bequeathed it to him. Mrs.
Wilson obtained tho ohild after a court
prooooding and roturnod with it to
Dado City. All wont well now for a
few months. Thoro was no traoe of
Miller and ho was not poraooutcd of
bourse..
But (ho story doos not ond horo. A
young man by tho u&mo of Hondorson,
who had lived in a noarby village for a
number of years and who was known
to the family, oarao ovor to Mrs. Wil
son's with a lot tor from a married
daughter of Mrs. Wilson's requesting
that littlo Loula bo punt baok va th Mr.
Hondcrson to spend a week with hor,
oho having soon little of tho ohild nineo
its recovery. Mrs. Wilson nob, sus
pcoting anything wrong lob tho ohr?d
go. But tho lotter proved to bo a.
forgory. Houdorson disappeared and j
no traoo of tho littlo girl could bo found.
After-scvoral years Mrs. Wilson learned
that hor ohild was in a oonvont in Sel
ma, Ala., but investigation proved that
tho littlo girl had alroady gono from
thoro, and no ouo know whither abo
wont. Mrs. Wilson during and af tor
this rocoivod numerous jotters purport
ing to givo information concerning tho
lost littlo ono, nomo of thom alloging to
bo from tho ohild and requesting tnat
bho bo sont mouoy to pay nor exponeos
homo. 8ho often took tho trips her
self and sent niouoy at different timos
in nnswor to lottors purporting to givo
information, oto., but all provod in
v?in. On ono ooonsion an oidor daugh
tor of Mrs. Wilson's mado a trip to
Canada in tho seeming fruitless soaroh, j
and to no avail. Two yours ago oho ro,' j
ooivod a photograph of tho littlo girl,
iv lu oh had boon mailed on tho train
and gavo no olow a? to whoro oho waB,
but ii was a sathfiotioa to know that
oho was sttll alive and oho still prayod
for tho roturn of her littlo ono.
Somo months ago thoro arrived"*in
Columbia a girl in hor toons who went

Tho girl's version of the story fits in
with that of ber mother. 8hd romom
bors of hor childhood, of her lifo in dil
f .iront oo?vants and of her stay in l?ake
City with Millar, whom she soya U a
cotton niorohant there, that ho has a
wifo andooveral children: that he has
generally boen kind to lier, but hAfl
always improved her with tho feet that
she Was an orphan and a ohargo on his
hands.
When oho dooided that tboro waa .a
niystory oonnootcd with hor lifo by ao
oidontally norning into pos^oasion. of a
lottor cf Millor's in regard to horsolf
oho mado up her mind td solvo it.
From this lottor sho eoourad soVoral

It waa full of mother's omotion and

Tho mother anddaughtor returnod to

Mrs. Wilson did not fir\y what oouroo j
oho would tako in rogard to Miller's in

full of lovo for evorybody, but that ohe
thought ho should bo punished for his 1

uid ask that tho truatooa demand tho
resignation of Prof. W. 8. Morrison,
who in in charge of the department of
history. Af tor a thorough investiga

that it was a misunderstanding on tho

tho languago unod by Prof. 'Merriton.
Tho latter in tho proaonoo of tho oa
dots* committee doolinod any intontion
of boing offensive. Ho had quoted

apply it personally.
Tho board did not sustain tho stu

of tho faculty in suaponing Listor or
Rider or whatovor tho oadet's name

Washington; D. 0., Oot; 8, 1901.
A spooial dispatoh, was published in
Rover a I of tho loading daily papers on
or about Spot. 29, 1901, in regard to an
alleged disoovory ot' nomo ola laws by
a Brooklyn lawyor, granting $81 Stato
and $192 fedora! bounties to soldiors
? for' sorvioes in tho reoont Spanish
Amorioan war, and stating that it
would cost tho Stato about 12,000.000
and tho fodoral government about $5,
000,000. lt wfts.also allcgod that nomo
.thousands of oases woro now boforo
Attorney Oonoral Knox at Waahing
ton for his dooisiou, and that tho mat
tor ia cxpootod to bo Bottled within tho
next ton days.
This dispatoh ia vor y vaguo, and so
far aa tho United Statoa is oonoornod
ia inoorroot and mialoading. No suoh
os no n aro bof oro tho attornoy gonoral of
tho United Statos for his aotion or do*
oision.
Furthormoro, no law has ovor boon
passed by oongroea, granting any boun
ties whatovor to any aoldiora for'aorvic'o
in the late Soaniah Amorioan war of
1898 and 1899. Oertain laws woro
p?sBod giving oxtra pay to auoh sol*
dior J in oortain oaooa, in lieu of a fur
lough or a loave of absence. But in
nearly all aaoh oaaos tho sordiora who
woro ontitlod to suoh oxtra pay havo
already boon paid it.
In rogard to bounty duo to soldiors
from tho United Statoa for oorvioo in
tho Cilvil war of 1801-18(55, no reoont
bounty laws havo boen passed. The
laut general bounty law onao.od by tho
Un i tod Statoa was on April 22, 1872,
and noarly all no.dior? ontitlod to boun
ty undor that aot, and alao under provi
ou-i aotB paisod giving bounty to aol
diora for ooi vi JO in tho Civil war, havo
alroady boon paid all tho bounty due
them.
lt is only r Jooaoary to aay in oonolu
sion, that there ia no foundation what
ever for any such statements as set
forth in said dispatoh, BO far as tho
United States is oonooracd, and it ia
hoped that thoao who aro iuteruatod in
